Mists
of Pandaria Beta
Pandaren
Starting Zone Walkthrough

Unless you live under a rock,
you have probably heard that the Mists of Pandaria beta is live and
playable for those lucky enough to receive an invitation. One of the
most exciting aspects of this newest WoW expansion is of course the
brand new Pandaren race and their much talked about starting zone. If
you weren’t fortunate enough to garner an invite to the beta
yet, you may find yourself feeling a bit left out.

However, hopefully you
won’t feel that way long. We here at Ten Ton Hammer are
coming to your rescue with a complete walkthrough of the Pandaren
starting zone that will
almost make you feel like you are really there.
So read onward and get the inside scoop on this brand new starting zone
assuredly full of
panda goodness.

Quest Hub - Shang Xi Training
Grounds

Well ladies and gentlemen this
is it; Shang Xi Training Grounds, the first sight every new Pandaren
gets to see as they enter the world for the first time. Tranquil and
beautiful, the Shang Xi Training Grounds provide what the name implies;
training for new Pandaren. Quests here are basic, to the point,
however, move quickly enough that you won’t find time to
become bored. This quest hub will provide players with seven
quests total to complete before moving onward to the next quest
hub.

Much
to Learn

The
Lesson of the Iron Bough

Instant
Quest
Shang Xi Training Grounds

Shang Xi
Shang Xi Training Grounds

Upon
entering the game
players will instantly be given the quest
“Much to Learn”.
All players need to do to complete
this Mists of Pandaria quest is speak to Master Shang Xi, who can be
found directly in front of the spot your character
appeared in.

The
Lesson of the Iron
Bough will send players out into the training grounds, but you
won’t be getting a taste of
fighting just yet. First you need
to equip yourself with some weapons. These weapons can
be located on sparkling racks found
throughout the Shang Xi Training Grounds. Pick up your weapon, equip
it, and return to Master Shang Xi for further instruction.

Lesson of Stifled Pride

Apparently
since you are competent enough to equip your weapon properly, Master
Shang Xi has decided that you are ready to engage in some real
combat…of sorts. Your task is to take on and
“defeat” five of the Training Targets found
throughout the Training Grounds. Return to Master Shang Xi
when your task is completed.

Finally
it is time to test your newly found
skills against some real opponents.
Well…NPCs opponents known Huojin Trainees, which
are a step
up from inanimate punching bags. Find the Huojin Trainees you need to
defeat inside the large temple inside the Training Grounds. Simply walk
up to any Trainee and attack to begin a battle. Once you have defeated
six Huojin Trainees speak to Master Shang Xi who will now be
conveniently located in the temple entrance.

The Lesson of the Burning Scroll

The
Disciple’s Challenge

Shang Xi
Tranquil Grotto

As your final test before
you adventure outside the Training Grounds you must perform a simple
task; snatch the flame from the hand
of Master Shang Xi and take it to
the top of the tower to burn the Edict of the Temperance. After There
is no trick here, just click on the flame and it will appear in your
hand. Scale two sets of stairs to the top of the temple where you will
find the Edict. Click on it to burn it and complete the quest and
return to Master Shang Xi.

The
time has come for all Pandaren who have made it this far to leave the
safety of the Shang Xi Training Grounds and move out into the wider
world. Head to the bottom of the stairs and cross the bride to the
Tranquil Grotto. Here your final test awaits; open combat against
Jaomin Ro one of Master Shang Xi’s eldest students. Defeat
Pandaren Jaomin Ro and return to Master Shang Xi who has once again
conveniently relocated to the bridge.

Aysa of the Tushui

Master
Shang Xi
Tranquil Grotto

With the training grounds
behind you, it is time to take on bigger challenges. The
first of which
is to find the spirit of fire, Huo, and return him to the
Temple of
Dawn. To complete this task you must
seek out the aid of Aysa, who is
one of Master Shang Xi’s most
gifted students. Aysa can be
found at the next small quest hub along
the way; Fu’s Pond.
Instead of turning in this quest to Aysa, players will instead deal
with Merchant Lorvo, at least until Aysa finishes her practice.

Quest
Hub - Fu's Pond

At Fu’s Pond players
will find themselves adventuring in the Dawning Valley to complete
quests for Merchant Lorvo while waiting for Aysa to complete her
meditation. It is questing here that we get our first idea of how much
thought actually went into this starting zone. While completing the
typical kill and collect quests for the obviously lovesick Merchant
Lorvo, I found myself staring in wonder as I witnessed the targeted
mobs actually “steal” the items I needed to
recover. Realism and believability in WoW at its best, which has
hopefully permeated the entire Mists of
Pandaria expansion.

Items of Utmost Importance

The
Missing Driver

Merchant
Lorvo
Fu's Pond

Merchant
Lorvo
Fu's Pond

Some nasty Amberleaf
Scamps have attacked Merchant Lorvo’s
cart and stolen his supplies. It is your job to seek out and kill these
cute little critters and steal the supplies back! As you can see in the
picture below, these
little guys are
yellow and as such you can easily pick them off one at a time making
this quest super simple. The drop rate on the supplies is also 100%
meaning you will need to kill exactly six to complete this quest.
Return to Fu’s Pond and Merchant Lorvo with the Stolen
Training Supplies.

It
turns out that Merchant Lorvo’s driver is a total sissy and
is probably one of the reasons that the cart was overrun with tiny
plant people in the first place. Nevertheless, the merchant insists
that you seek out his cowardly driver. You will find Min Dimwind north
of Fu’s Pond surrounded by Amberleaf Scamps. You
won’t have to defeat them though, simply walk into their
midst and they will scatter. Min Dimwind will offer his thanks and head
back to his cart, while you head back to Fu’s Pond to turn in
the quest to Merchant Lorvo where you will find that Aysa has completed
her practice.

The Way of the Tushui

Ji
of the Huojin

Aysa
Cloudsinger
Cave of Meditation

Master
Shang XI
Cave of Meditation

Follow Aysa to the Cave
of Meditation found north east of Fu’s Pond. Here you will be
tasked with protecting Aysa while she meditates and tries to find the
answer to Huo’s location. Once you have located the cave, run
inside where you will be almost immediately attacked
by Amberleaf
Troublemakers. A bar will appear at the bottom of the screen which
indicates the total of these critters you need to kill (60) as well as
how many you have killed so far.
Defeat all sixty Amberleaf
Troublemakers and Aysa’s meditation will
be complete. Turn in
the quest to Master
Shang
Xi who will appear at the cave entrance.

Your
time with the calm and restrained Aysa is over and it istime to meet
another of Master Shang Xi’s most talented students; Ji
Firepaw. Ji Firepaw can be found in the center of Wu-Song Village,
north west of the Cave of Meditation. Simply follow the path into the
village where you will find Ji occupied with some unwanted and
meddlesome guests.

Quest Hub
- Wu-Song Village

Once you arrive at Wu-Song
Village you will find the target of your quest near the middle of the
village. However, there is a small problem…a horde of
invading monkeys. Before you can continue on your quest to rekindling
Hou, the fire spirit, you must first help Ji take care of the
village’s monkey problem.

The Way of the Huojin

Kindling
the Fire

Ji
Firepaw
Wu-Song Village

Ji
Firepaw
Wu-Song Village

Ji Firepaw explains that
the attacking monkeys are usually docile creatures, but because they
sense something bad (dundunDUN) is coming, they have attacked the
village. Of course the only option here is to rid the village of the
monkeys by slaughtering them mercilessly. Be careful as sometimes these
frisky foes will pounce upon the player’s head. Kill 8 Horzen
attackers found throughout Wu-Song Village to complete
this quest, then
visit Ji Firepaw for further instruction.

With
the monkey problem under control, its time to get back to the more
important mission of seeking out Huo, the spirit of fire. Before meetin
Huo face to face, you will need to collect dogwood root kindling to
satisfy his hunger. Dogwood root kindling can be found south of the
village, under any of the large trees found there. Collect 5 Kindling
to complete this quest.

Fanning the Flames

The
Spirit’s Guardian

Ji
Firepaw
Wu-Song Village

Ji
Firepaw
Wu-Song Village

As the spirit of fire,
Huo needs wood to burn, but also wind to fan his flames. To get your
hands on some wind to appease Huo you will need to visit the windstone
south of Wu-Song Village. Use the Wind Stone you obtained when picking
up the quest and a air elemental will
spawn. Defeat this elemental and
loot it to collect a Fluttering
Breeze. Return to Ji Firepaw in
Wu-Song
Village once these two quests are
completed.

After
you have turned in both Fanning the Flames and Kindling the Fire, it is
time to rekindle Huo, the spirit of fire. Huo can be found inside the
Cave of Meditation to the southwest, through the forest where you
completed the two pervious quests and then across a small bridge. Once
inside speak to Master Li Fei, Huo’s guardian. He will decide
if you are worthy of continuing onward to Huo.

Quest Hub - Shrine of Inner
Light

Inside these sacred halls you
will encounter your first elemental spirit; Huo the spirit of fire.
Tread carefully here as Huo is in a bad mood and has quite the temper.
Hopefully the gifts you have brought Huo will be enough to appease him.

The
Challenger’s Fires

Only
the Worthy Shall Pass

Master
Li Fei
Shrine of Inner Light

Master
Li Fei
Shrine of Inner Light

Almost nothing in WoW is
easy, and this quest is no exception. Before you can head onward to Huo
you must first prove you worth by defeating Master Li Fei in combat.
Before he will engage you though you need to take the torch you aquired
while picking up this quest, light it using the nearby brazier, then
light the three braziers located around the small pool.

The
time is upon you to take on Master Li Fei. As soon as you
accept this quest you will find yourself punted into the center of the
nearby pool and Master Li Fei will appear before you. Attack to start
the battle and defeat him as you would any other mob. While his icon
indicates he is a boss, Master Li Fei is fairly easy to defeat and
failure at this quest is nearly impossible. Speak to Master Li Fei
again after the battle is over.

Huo, the Spirit of Fire

The
Passion of Shen-Zin Su

Master
Li Fei
Shrine of Inner Light

Huo,
Spirit of Fire
Shrine of Inner Light

You have proven yourself
worthy and now you may enter the chamber holding Huo. Once inside feed
Huo the kindling you have collected and use the wind to fan his flames.
These items can be found in a tidy little package called
“Huo’s Offerings”. Click on these near
Huo to use it and then sit back and
watch as Huo comes alive. Speak
with Huo after he has been reignited.

You
have apparently made quite an impression on Huo and he is more than
willing to follow you wherever you wish. Bring Huo to meet with Master
Shang Xi in the Temple of the Five Dawns at the top of Dawning Stair,
the near the center of the island. Speak to Master Shang Xi once you
have arrived to learn the next step of your journey.

The Singing Pools

Master
Shang Xi
Temple of the Five Dawns

Inside the Temple of Five
Dawns you will release Huo to once again ignite the passion of Shen-Zin
Su. However your work is far from done. Master Shang Xi will reveal
that all is not well and the remaining three spirits of the elements
must be returned to ensure the survival of the Pandaren
race. Your
first stop on this journey is at the
infamous Singing Pools found east
of the Temple of Five Dawns.

Quest Hub - The Singing
Pools

The first spirit you are tasked
with returning is Shu, the water spirit. He is believed to still reside
somewhere within the Singing Pools. Aysa awaits you here to help you
locate Shu and navigate the many mysterious of the pools themselves.

Something Tough

The
Lesson of Dry Fur

Jojo
Ironbrow
The Singing Pools

Aysa
Cloudsinger
The Singing Pools

With no other explanation
other than what he needs, Jojo Ironbrow will demand that you bring him
Hard Tearwood Reeds. These reeds can be found sparkling
throughout the
singing pools. Beware though, as this
simple quest has a twist. When
entering the pool containing the reeds, players will discover
themselves turned into a frog, a perfect meal for the nearby cranes.
Collect eight Hard Tearwood Reeds without becoming lunch and return
them to Jojo.

Once
again Aysa will take up meditation. Instead of letting you stand around
and wait she sends you off to hone your skills. You are to take on a
task that all trainees are asked to complete; crossing the nearby
balance poles to ring the bell without falling in. Jump from balance
pole to balance pole by clicking on them once the green arrow appears.
Be sure to move quickly as the nearby Tushui Monks will knock you off.
Once you have reached the center of the pool, ring the bell to complete
the quest. If you fall into the pool you will need to return to the
edge of the water to start again.

The Lesson of the Balanced Rock

Finding
An Old Friend

Aysa
Cloudsinger
The Singing Pools

Aysa
Cloudsinger
The Singing Pools

Aysa has asked
for another test of your skills; taking on other Tushui
Monks perched a
top balance poles. Jump from balance pole
to balance pole by clicking
on them once the green arrow appears. Once you have come close to a
Tushui Monk, simply attack him and knock him off the pole before he
does the same to you.

After
much meditation Aysa reveals that Shu once had a Pandaren companion
named Old Man Liang. Liang once visited Shu often, however, in recent
years he has moved away. This may be the reason for Shu’s
dissappearance. To find out more seek
out Old Man Liang who has moved
to a house a top a hill north east of the pools.

Quest Hub - Liang's Retreat

The home of Old Man Liang, it
is here that all will be revealed as to what has happened to Shu and
how he can be brought back from the watery depths.

The Sun Pearl

The
Sting of Learning

Old
Man Liang
Liang's Retreat

Old
Man Liang
Liang's Retreat

Shu, the water
spirit, is
eternally young, and Liang reveals that he no longer has the energy
to
play with him. However, Liang believes that all Shu desires is a new
friend. To signal your friendship to the water spirit you must collect
a Sun Pearl as a gift much as Liang did in his younger days. The Sun
Pearl can be found in a deep pool to the southeast of Laing’s
house inside a giant clam. The clam is guarded by a serpent named
Fang-she who will have to be defeated to obtain the pearl.

While
you are out and about collecting the pearl from the quest above, Liang
has asked you to assist him in another matter; taking care of the Water
Pincer population. Some of the most vicious creatures in the pools
their numbers need to be thinned in order to ensure safety. Water
Pincers can be found throughout the Singing Pools. It is often best to
single out one of these creatures as large groups of them tend to
attack at once. Return this quest to Old Man Liang who has relocated to
the pavilion near where you collected the Sun Pearl.

With the pearl collected
it is time to befriend Shu. Use the rocks with the blue circles on them
(found in the pool to the west of the pavilion) to reach the Pools of
Reflection. There lurking in the deeps is Shu, toss in the Sun Pearl to
coax him out.

You
have succeeded in coaxing Shu out of hiding, and now he is ready to
play! Engage in a game with Shu by jumping into five of the water
spouts he creates in the water. Simply stand atop the bubbling water
until you are shot into the air.

The Source of Our Livelihood

Aysa
Cloudsinger
The Pools of Reflection

Your work at the pools
with Shu is done, however, your job is far from over. While Aysa
returns to the temple to report your progress, you are instructed to
journey to the Dai-Lo Farmstead where you will seek out Wugou, the
spirit of earth. Thankfully, walking is uneeded, simply begin down the
road leading south and you will find a cart waiting to carry you to
your destination. Shu will not be far
behind. Speak to Ji Firepaw one you have reached the farmstead.

Quest Hub - Dai-Lo Farmstead

Once you reach the farmstead,
you will find your old friend Ji Firepaw who has apparently made your
job easier by locating Wugou, the earth spirit for you. The only
problem is that Wugou refuses to awaken.

Rascals

Still
Good!

Ji
Firepaw
Dai-Lo Farmstead

Goa
Summerdraft
Dai-Lo Farmstead

Ji takes on the task of
waking the water spirit and assigns you
to another task; riding the
farmstead of vermin. This area is literally overrun
with them and the
best solution is to wipe out as many of them as you can. Kill 10 Plump
vermin found in the fields to the south of the farmstead. These rather
large, ugly beasts cannot be missed.

It
is to be expected that the vermin will make off with some crops,
however, they are taking far more than they can eat. Goa Summerdraft
implores you to seek out the vermin’s stockpile of crops and
return to him with 3 Uprooted Turnips, 3 Stolen Carrots, and 3 Pilfered
Pumpkins. These vegetables can be found in the fields south of the
village. Like most quest items they sparkle making them easy to spot.
Return to Gao with the goods.

Missing Mallet

Something
Tougher

Ji
Firepaw
Dai-Lo Farmstead

Jojo
Ironbrow
Dai-Lo Farmstead

Thus far Ji has been
unsuccessful in waking Wugou, however,
he has a plan! In order to wake
Wugou you will need to make as much
noise as possible. Thankfully there
is a conviently placed gong nearby, the only problem is the mallet is
missing. The mallet, known as the Big Break Stick, is rumored to be
held by Raggis, an oversized and very angry rabbit, at the Ki-Han
Brewery near the river to the southwest. Defeat Raggis, take the
mallet, and return to Ji.

Jojo
is back and he is determined to break something even more difficult
than before. He tasks you with collecting wood planks from the
construction taking place near the Ki-Han Brewery.
The Discarded Wood Planks can be found lying outside the brewery and
sparkle making them easy targets. Collect 12 Discarded Wood Planks and
return to Jojo.

Raucous Rousing

With the recovery
of the
mallet, waking Wugou is within your reach. You have been selected to
have the honor of ringing the gong. To do this simply
click on the gong
next to Wugou and hang on. Perhaps you should have looked for something
to cover your ears….

Sadly,
the gong didn’t even make Wugou flinch, but Ji has another
plan! You will be enlisting the help of Shu to spray Wugou in the face
with some rather chilly water. Hopefully Wugou is a good sport. Shu can
be found in a small pool just to the north of the gong, behind the
tree. Speak with Shu to enlist his help.

The Spirit and Body of Shen-Zin Su

Ji
Firepaw
Dai-Lo Farmstead

With Wugou finally awake,
its time to escort both water and earth spirits back to the
Temple of
the Five Dawns. Once again, walking is
not necessary, simply hitch a
ride in the car that brought you here. Jump in the cart and enjoy the
ride.

Quest
Hub - Morning Breeze
Village

With Wugou and Shu safely at
rest in the temple, it is time to seek out the final spirit; Dafeng.
Dafeng can often be found on the Ridge of Laughing Winds to the west,
and this is where you will seek him out. A breeze will carry you to the
top of the temple. From here use the bridges to carry you west where
you will find Aysa and Ji. Once you’ve reached Morning Breeze
Village and spoken to Ji Firepaw you will realize that there are a few
small tasks you must take care of before you continue on your search
for the last spirit. These tasks come in the form of three quests which
come from various townsfolk. A perfect distraction while you once again
wait for Aysa to finish meditating.

Rewritten Wisdoms

Something
Really Tough

Ji
Firepaw
Morning Breeze Village

Jojo Ironbrow
Morning Breeze Village

It seems those pesky
monkeys are causing trouble again. This time
they are befouling the
Scrolls of Wisdom hand written by Elder Shaopai.
The scrolls cannot be
saved, and must be destroyed. Seek out the Scrolls of Wisdom outside
the village to the south. These scrolls can be found hanging from large
stones scattered throughout the Ridge of Laughing Winds. Click on the
scrolls to burn them and rid the world of their taint as well as
enjoying a little monkey wisdom along the way. Burn 5 Defaced Scrolls
of Wisdom to complete this quest.

Our
old friend Jojo is back and in his typical fashion he has requested
that you bring him something even harder for him to break into
smithereens. This time the target is Abandoned Stone Blocks that, like
the scrolls above, can be found scattered over the ground in the Ridge
of the Laughing Wind. The stone blocks sparkle like most quest items
and are very easy to spot. Pick up 12 Abandoned Stone Blocks by
clicking on them to complete this quest. Return to Jojo and watch him
do what he does best; break things.

Tools of the Enemy

The
Direct Solution

Elder

Morning Breeze Village

To paint over the
Scroll’s of Wisdom the pesky Hozen have stolen paint brushes
from the village. To prevent them
from doing even more harm you are
tasked by Master Shaopai, the original
writer of the scrolls, with
killing the monkeys and retrieving eight of the Paint Soaked Brushes.
Hozen can be found lurking throughout the Ridge of the Laughing Winds.
With a seeming 100% drop rate on the brushes collecting eight will be a
snap.

Ji
Firepaw has become tired with round about methods when dealing with the
pesky Hozen. He wants to take a more
direct route; enter their village and wipe out 14 Fe Fang Hozen. The
Hozen village can be found north of Morning
Breeze Village. Kill any combination of the Hozen found inside or
directly outside the village to complete this quest.

Do No Evil

Monkey
Advisory Warning

Ji
Firepaw
Morning Breeze Village

Ji
Firepaw
Morning Breeze Village

Apparently all this
killing has Ji feeling a bit guilty and he explains that the way of the
Huojin is not one of violence. In a gesture of mercy he suggests that
you seek out the leader of the Hozen in the hopes that not all the
monkey people will need to be slaughtered to stop the attacks. Seek out
Ruk-ruk just outside the Hozen village located north of Morning Breeze
Village. Once inside the village head east outside the village where
you will find Ruk-Ruk a short distance away with a horde of fireworks.
Kill him to complete this quest.

The
Hozen have been stealing
everything from food to fireworks from the
village. Ji seems fine with leaving them
the food, but the fireworks
are another story. While you are in
the Hozen village, located north of
Morning Breeze Village, recover 8 Stolen Firework Bundles. The Stolen
Firework Bundles are scattered throughout the
Village and are easy to
spot thanks to their distinctive sparkles.

Something Too Tough?

Hozen Village

Firepaw
Morning Breeze Village

Just before entering the
Hozen village you will notice a Jade Tiger Pillar. A very hard Jade
Tiger Pillar. This looks like a perfect challenge for Jojo Ironbrow.
Accept the quest from the pillar and
return it to Jojo who can be found
inside Morning Breeze Village. Will
this challenge prove to be his
undoing?

It
is time for you to speak to Aysa and find out the results of her
meditation. In order to reach her you
must cross the lake using the
ropes starting at the end of the dock
in Morning Breeze Village. Walk
onto the first rope to begin then navigate you way carefully to Aysa in
the center of Morning Breeze Lake. If you fall from the ropes you will
need to swim back to shore and begin again at the docks. Speak to Aysa
upon your arrival.

Dafeng, the Spirit of Air

Aysa
Cloudsinger
The Pools of Reflection

During her meditation
Aysa has discovered that Dafeng, the spirit of air, has been chased
from the skies by the Onyx Serpent.
Dafend can be found hiding within
the Chamber of Whispers on the south side of the plateau. Go there by
taking the road leading south from
Morning Breeze Village through the
Ridge of the Laughing Winds, you will find Aysa and Ji waiting. Wait
for the winds inside the chamber to settle, then make your way to the
end of the hallway where you will find Dafeng

Quest
Hub - Chamber of Whispers

Inside the Chamber of Whispers
you will encounter Dafeng, the mighty spirit of air. Although at the
moment he doesn’t seem so mighty. Scared into hiding by the
Onyx Serpent, Dafeng needs a hero to help him face his fears.

Master Shang Xi
Chamber of Whispers

Dafeng is terrified of
the Onyx Serpent and will not leave
the chamber with it still roaming
the skies. Either Dafeng must face his fear, or you must face it for
him. Ji, who can be found outside the Chamber of Whispers has a plan;
use the fireworks recovered from the Hozen to defeat the serpent. The
fireworks can be found set up directly outside the chamber. Click on
the firework barrels to shoot them at the serpent until he has been
defeated, then speak with Master Shang Xi.

Before
you commune with the elemental spirits Master Shang Xi has one final
request; escort him through the Elder’s Path. Follow Shang up
the path, where you will find your final challenge in the Guardian of
the Elders. Defeat the guardian to prove your worth and gain entrance
into the Wood of Staves. The guardian is fairly easy to defeat by
relying on the basic combat abilities you have used thus far.

Quest
Hub - The Wood of Staves

Once inside the Wood of Staves
your task of returning the spirits is almost complete. Before you can
finish though, you will need to complete a few simple tasks for Master
Shang Xi while he prepares for your commune with the spirits.

Unwelcome Nature

Small,
But Significant

Wood of Staves

Master

Wood of Staves

Inside the Wood of Staves
are many creatures, however, some of
the most viscious are the
Thronbranch Scamps. While you have faced these creatures before, the
ones inside the wood are far more
fearsome and will not hesitate to
attack. These scamps also have the ability to summon mirror images if
left alive to long, which are easy to kill, but distracting and
potentially deadly nonetheless. Kill eight Thornbranch Scamps, found
throughout the wood, to earn the thanks of the spirits.

Our
old friend Jojo is back and in his typical fashion he has requested
that you bring him something even harder for him to break into
smithereens. This time the target is Abandoned Stone Blocks that, like
the scrolls above, can be found scattered over the ground in the Ridge
of the Laughing Wind. The stone blocks sparkle like most quest items
and are very easy to spot. Pick up 12 Abandoned Stone Blocks by
clicking on them to complete this quest. Return to Jojo and watch him
do what he does best; break things.

Soon you will be
undertaking this journey you are on without the assistance of Master
Shang Xi. Before that time comes
though, he intends to pass on as much
knowledge as possible. Listen to the wisdom Master Shang Xi has to
offer to complete this quest. Master Shang Xi‘s time upon
this world is done, however you have much to do. Seek out Aysa by
following the path leading east where you will find her and Ji with
Shang Xi’s Hot Air Balloon.

Put
your grieving aside, Shen-Zin Su awaits you. Climb aboard the hot air
balloon by clicking on it to start upon the final leg of your journey.
Once aboard the balloon you will be joined by Aysa and Ji who will
accompany you to speak with Shen-Zin Su to discover the cause of his
suffering. Report your findings to
Elder Shaopai inside the Temple of the
Five Dawns in Mandori Village.

Bidden to Greatness

Elder
Shaopai
Temple of the Five Dawns

The cause of Shen-Zin
Su’s pain is a rather large crashed ship containing
distinctly hairless creatures. It is
up to you to remove this
“thorn” from the side of Shen-Zin Su. In the
Pei-Wu
Forest you will find a hermit, he will know of the things that now lurk
in the trees. To reach the hermit you must exit the temple to the south
and continue along the path to the gates of Mandori Village. Continue
past these gates following the path until you reach another set of
gates leading to the Pei-Wu Forest. These gates will two open after a
short dialog. Continue following Ji, Aysa, and Jojo along the path to
seek out the hermit and a rather unexpected guest.

Quest
Hub - Forlorn Hut

Upon your arrival at the
Forlorn Hut you will learn that the ship that has lodged in Shen-Zin
Su’s side is an Alliance ship containing several Horde
prisoners. Before you can address the issue of removing the thorn, you
must first discover the evil that the hermit Wei Palerage has sensed in
the surrounding forest as well as assist the Horde in finding their
missing engineer, the only person who may be able to dislodge the thorn
from Shen-Zin Su’s side.

The forest is a dangerous
place, now more than ever before. Ever since Shen-Zin Su began shaking
the aniamls have become agitated, and
none more so than the Amur
Tigers. These tigers have begun to
attack the refugees at random and
must be stopped so that any remaining survivors may reach safety. Amur
Tigers can be found in the area surrounding the Forlorn Hut. Kill six
Amur Tigers to complete this quest and return to Wei Palerage.

The
Horde survivors are injured and desperate for food. Despite this, they
vow to stand with you no matter the circumstance, however, they need
stronger weapons. To aid them head to the area surrounding the Forlorn

Wrecking the Wreck

In order to
remove the
Alliance ship you must help the Horde survivors find the location of
their engineer. He was last seen somewhere in the western forest. To
find the missing engineer follow Ji
down the path leading west out of
the village. A short distance away you will find the engineer as well
as several other survivors at a small camp.

Quest
Hub - Pei-Wu Forest

Upon discovery of the camp your
hopes of an easy solution to removing the ship are dashed as the Makael
Bay, the once missing engineer, details what you will need to complete
the task. At least there will be explosives involved right?

To remove the wreckage of
the Allianace ship you will need explosives,
lots and lots of
explosives. While the survivors
collected as many as they could before
leaving the ship, there were many left behind. Seek out the wreckage to
the south of the camp. Search the ground and the bodies littering the
shore for six Packed Explosive Charges.

While
finding explosives are a priority, so is the evil that is emerging from
the seas to wreck havoc on the Pandaren. Ji knows how to take care of
this problem and so do you. Kill eight Darkened Horrors or Darkened
Terrors which can be found in the woods directly outside the camp.

Ji is sure that Aysa
won’t be a fan of the explosives. He is leaving it up to you
to break the news to her and convince her that the plan is a good one.
You can find Aysa at the Skyfire Crash-Site by traveling east of the
camp to the road then taking the road south. The campsite is marked by
an Alliance flag.

Hub - Skyfire Crash Site

Your message will have to wait.
Upon arriving at the crash site you will find that Aysa has taken it
upon herself to save the Alliance crew and is no where to be found.
There is nothing to do but wait for Aysa, and help out where you can.

While Aysa’s
efforts are valiant they are not nearly enough.
Help the Alliance crew
by rescuing 3 Injured Sailors from the wreckage
before it collapses.
The crash site can be found directly west of the Alliance encampment.
Injured Sailors can be found lying on the ground throughout the crash.
Click on a sailor to pick him up and return him to the Alliance camp.
You may only carry one sailor at a time.

To
tend to the ever growing numbers of injured you must acquire medical
supplies. Inside the crash you can find Crates of Medical Supplies that
will work perfectly. The crash site can be found west of the Alliance
camp and the Crates of Medical Supplies can be found scattered
throughout it. These quest items sparkle and are easy to locate.

It is revealed that the
evil creatures that are invading the
land emerged from the sea to
collect the wreckage of the crashed ship. It is
disheartening for the
survivors to watch as these evil creatures gorge themselves on their
misfortune. Defeat 8 Deep Sea Tormentors to help ease the pain of the
survivors. Deep Sea Tormentors can be found in the crash site to the
west of the Alliance camp.

Trouble
is afoot. One of the returning sailors has spotted Aysa in the wreckage
of the ship facing off against a Deep
Sea Nightmare. She needs help and
quickly. Return to the crash site west of the Alliance camp where you
will find Aysa in combat. Join in and help her defeat the creature
before its too late. Only you and other players on this portion of the
quest will be able to see the creature. Speak to Aysa once the battle
is over.

Aysa is, as expected,
against Ji’s plan to remove the ship from
the side of Sen-zin
Su. She insists that you think of another way before
Ji carries out his
plan. Follow Aysa up the stairs to confront Ji, who convinces her the
plan is the right one. Ji will blow the ship free and open a gaping
wound on Shen-Zin Su. You must free up the healers who are being
attacked by Deep Sea Raveagers. As the wound is healed a bar on the
bottom of your screen will feel. The more healers that are active, the
faster the bar will fill. When the healing is complete speak with Ji
again.

Shen-Zin
Su’s pain is ended and while Aysa still disagrees with the
choice, the results cannot be denied. It is time to return to the
Temple of the Five Dawns to let those there know of your victory.
Walking will not be required. A cart is waiting near the Skyfire Crash
Site to take you to your destination. Head north east from Ji to find
your ride.

Inside the Temple of the Five
Dawns you will find the Spirit of Master Shang Xi. He expresses his
gratitude and his realization that the world at large needs healing, ot
just Shen-zin Su, and you and the rest of the Pandaren race may be able
to offer it. It is here that you will choose your destiny as part of
the Horde or Alliance. Choose wisely as you can never go back. Once you
have chosen you will be transported via hot air balloon to either
Stormwind or Orgrimmar.
